Osinbajo Throws Sub At Melaye & Adeleke At Independence Day Dinner

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, making a case for why he believes Nigerians are the most humorous people in the world, subbedDino Melaye and Ademola Adeleke.

Punch
reports that this was during the Independence Day dinner and gala at
the Presidential Villa, a part of the activities to celebrate Nigeria’s
58th Independence Day.

Osinbajo cited a report on Nigerians being among the happiest and optimistic people, and added that Nigerians also are humorous.

To prove his point, Osinbajo cited the case of 2 “important” Nigerian
politicians, both of them with stories very familiar. He said:

A few years ago, a poll reported in the British
Independent Newspaper declared us the happiest people on earth. The same
poll said that we were also amongst the most optimistic people on
earth, despite everything that we’ve experienced as a nation.

I agree with both assessments, in other words, that we are possibly
one of the happiest in the world, but I must also add that we are, by
far, the most humorous people on the face of the earth.

Well, if you don’t agree with me, but I can tell you so many reasons
why we are the most humorous. A few months ago, an important Nigerian
politician who was on his way to a trial in a court said he was abducted
and after he escaped from his abductors, he remained hiding on a tree
for 11 hours.

The most interesting part of that story is that many people online in
particular, on the Internet, started to tell stories of different birds
and how long those birds could remain perched on a tree. All these were
the Nigerian contributions to that story.

Yet another very important politician insisted, and still insists
that the most important attribute for leadership is dancing, and boy he
can dance! And for those who think that that is ridiculous, at least
200,000 people voted for him in a particular election.
